About

We are a team dedicated to building a healthier Georgia from the ground up. This site is part of our public education campaign. Our goal is to bring awareness to the opioid crisis in Georgia through Rural Georgia: Growing Stronger. This campaign is sponsored by UGA Cooperative Extension with grant support from the Rural Health and Safety Education Competitive Grant Program [grant no. 2021-46100-35337/project accession no. 1027026] from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
